just a reminder that there’s so much more that we still don’t know about ourselves and that’s what makes life so beautiful. next year you could find your next favorite musician or fall in love with someone you haven’t even met yet. you might see a new shade of green that will become your new favorite color or you could become obsessed with a new food that you thought you once hated. we change as life goes on. we grow as life changes. our experiences shape us into a new person. it’s beautiful.
dear reader, you don’t have to answer just ’cause they asked you...
Butters my beautiful bean!
hello sweetssss

You got a sexy ass body and your ass look soft, mind if I touch it?
what’s a comfort dish, either one you would make yourself or like someone to make for you?
My mother's yellow chicken adobo, which she makes by frying chicken in annatto-flavored oil, adding garlic and potatoes, some water, a dash of vinegar, a dash of soy sauce, and just the tiniest bit of cheddar cheese (a choice that's controversial yet brave).
It's amazing and so dear to me. I can almost taste it on my tongue.
What's your favorite line from The Secret History? (If you have one. ♥️♥️)
The first line, which is brilliant. I have it embedded in my brain.
"The snow in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation."

― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals
I was looking for a love unlike my parents’ love or my sister’s love or the love on a foreign kitchen floor. I wanted my own kitchen to keep clean and full of bread and milk and hot sauce and a big clean empty sink where I could wash my dishes. I wanted to forgive my mother and father for their misery and find myself a light man who lived buoyantly and to be both his light and his dark, serious baby.

I can’t stop thinking about when Susan Sontag said “I don’t feel guilt at being unsociable, though I may sometimes regret it because my loneliness is painful. But when I move into the world, it feels like a moral fall — like seeking love in a whorehouse.”
